Objective
Objective
No more than 5 minutes - 4-8 players. Ball each. Coach kneels on the ground. Players surround the coach so they are close enough for the coach to reach their ball when the player puts their foot on top. Coach rolls the balls randomly in the area and the players sprint to collect and dribble back, stopping the ball within touching distance for the coach.
Three defenders 'Crabs' in a line move side to side to prevent the attackers 'Fish' from reaching the end line. On the command of "GO", all the attackers move forward with the ball, keeping close control and using turns and body moves to avoid the crabs (who must stay in a crab position – hands and feet). If the fish’s ball is kicked out, the fish joins the crabs. Play until the last fish is captured.
Coaching Points 1. Move quickly to the ball 2. Dribble with laces 3. Use different surfaces to change direction
Coaching Points 1. Encourage players to use body movements to elude the crabs 2. When dribbling, keep soccer balls close to allow quick changes in direction 3. Lift head to avoid collision and see routes for escape

Objective
Objective
Each player has a ball apart from 2 Mud Monsters. The monsters must try and tag the soccer players who are dribbling around the swamp. Once tagged the player is then stuck in the mud. When stuck in the mud you must place the ball on your head and open your legs. The stuck player can be saved by having a ball passed through their legs by another play.
Five attackers have a ball each. They have to try and score as many goals as they can in 45 seconds. They have 6 different goals to score in. Trying to stop them are three defenders. Progress this by adding more goalkeepers and more defenders
Coaching Points 1. Keep your head up 2. Move into the open space 3. Awarness of team-mates
